Keep up the commenting! It has been wonderful to open my email to all these lovely comments about cupcakes. I have a new series of baking tips starting up this week, we’re going to go back to basics – don’t be afraid to use a recipe instead of a box mix!

Now, there were 62 comments in the draw…

And the winner is…

Congratulations Cyndi Wood!

You’re so generous offering such a scrumptious looking book! I have a soft spot for cupcakes but would love to find some great icing tips and recipes – I think icing  just makes them perfect

Thank you very much to everyone who entered, I’m running another giveaway later this month so keep your comments coming, won’t you.

…You guys like cupcakes, right?

I thought so.

To celebrate a new year and many other awesome things that I’ve done since the last giveaway, I’m holding a giveaway!

Simply leave a comment anywhere on the website between today and the 28th of February, 2011, to be in the draw. Note that only residents of Australia are eligible to enter this particular competition but I will hold one for everyone when this one ends!

You’ll be going in the running to win.. Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery! It’s a very good cupcake book that I recommend along with the hummingbird bakery cookbooks

Good luck!

(I can see the cases! )

The finished masterpiece – and I bet they didn’t last long!

I’m so glad you love the cases dear! I am going to have another contest soon If you’d like the recipe for these delicious Choc Orange Cupcakes (did I mention they have malteasers in them?) head on over to Miss Yolie’s blog and try them out for yourself!

Here’s the hat I’ll be using to draw the entrants

I added all the people who have commented after my giveaway entry who didn’t state they didn’t want to be in the running (two people said they had enough goodies!)

All the pieces are cut up and folded ready for the draw

Thanks to my assistant Michael (:D) who will be drawing the winner for me!

Congratulations Yolie I’ll get in touch with you to find out where to send the cases. I wish I could bring them over myself, I am long overdue for a Perth visit!

I’ll be doing another giveaway early in 2010 so stay tuned. And I’ve got the second most famous recipe coming up this afternoon.. Vanilla Butterfly Cupcakes!

A large plastic piping nozzle (star)

Small Pyrex measuring cup, with tablespoon and teaspoon measurements as well as ml on the side

Cookie cutters! (the use for this will be revealed)

And then with a stop in at Target, picked up this cupcake stand, bringing the total I own to just two.

With the cupcake stand I got I also got 18 silicon cases, and I already have some that I haven’t even used yet. Sooo.. I’m giving six away. Two blue, two green and two pink. They haven’t been used and are dishwasher safe and all that jazz. To enter the giveaway, you must comment on this post (one comment per person please) and live in Australia. I will randomly draw a winner on October 31st and send them to you – freeeee!

Thanks to everyone that commented about the Oreo cupcakes, I actually made way too much cream and put it back in the fridge, and we got to eat it yesterday with some chocolate cake. Delicious! And good luck in the giveaway.
